Managing information (knowledge?) and fostering information literacy in higher education students: Baby steps to make

Image
There are many educational approaches related to how educators should teach in order to promote a meaningful learning in their students. It is still common to see that many educators stick to the idea that their knowledge means power in classroom settings, where no doubt is allowed since the one who can ask the question is the professor.

The Internet offers a wide array of tools that may serve for multiple purposes, some more specific than others (e.g. create a digital presentation, organize data, edit images, edit/create videos, write and share a text, etc.), and these may not be necessarily focused on education. When the Web 2.0 (“Social Web”) appeared between early and mid-2000’s, the way the world saw Internet changed, allowing users to produce content and share it with anyone in the globe. This new approach opened up new doors for different fields, education included.
